Momma’s Turkey Stew with Dumplings
I love my slow cooker, especially during the holidays. My mother used to make this turkey stew every year with our Thanksgiving leftovers. The recipe is simple and really celebrates the natural flavors of good, simple ingredients. To this day, it is one of my favorite meals. —Stephanie Rabbitt-Schapp, Cincinnati, Ohio

This recipe was very tasty and I would certainly use it again. I only did two things differently. I had deeply browned wings from the turkey so placed them in the bottom of the crock pot first. I used Lawry's seasoned salt in place of the regular salt. I didn't make the dumplings as we were not going to use all of the soup and I didn't know how well they would hold up.
Made with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Delicious. I did add more spices to knock it up a bit. Would make again, great use for extra chicken or turkey, and love the use of the crockpot.
Made this yesterday exactly as directed. Hubby loved it and said it's a keeper.
We really liked this- it was easy and very tasty!
With the addition of a few more herbs and increasing the poultry seasoning amount, this recipe is the one I use with both turkey and chicken for the basic stew. I like to make slick/flat dumplings though. Those fluffy dumplings tend to melt too readily.
Simple and easy preparation. Instead of Turkey I used chicken leg quarters since I haven't done a Turkey yet. But, it will be a good recipe for later when I have the Turkey leftovers. As well, I don't have Bisquick on hand so I made easy scratch dumplings with Flour, Salt, Parsley, Butter and Milk.
I make this dish all the time as it is so tasty. It is a staple in my house during the winter months. I don't make the biscuits though as I don't want the extra calories.
Followed directions, very disappointing, will not make again.
This was delicious, easy, and made the house smell wonderful while it cooked. Kids gave it 2 thumbs up!
I did not have turkey so I substituted chicken instead. My husband and I both loved it! It was hearty and full of flavor. I'm putting this on our list of favorites.
